LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Glancy Binkow & Goldberg LLP announces that it is investigating
potential claims against the Board of Directors of Avon Products, Inc.
(“Avon” or the “Company”) (NYSE: AVP) related to their rejection of a
proposal by Coty Inc. to acquire the company. Coty announced on April 2,
2012 that it had offered to purchase the Company for $10 billion or
$23.25 per share (the “Proposal”). On Tuesday, May 15, 2012, Coty
retracted its offer after Avon failed to meet its deadline to respond.
As a result, Avon’s share price declined more than 10 percent.

This investigation concerns whether the Board of Directors of Avon
breached their fiduciary duties to stockholders by failing to pursue
this opportunity, and whether the Company has disclosed all material
information to shareholders about the Proposal. Coty’s offer would have
provided shareholders with a premium of 27% over the three month
volume-weighted average price per share. Given the Company’s current
troubles including a bribery investigation, the 27% premium appears to
be substantial.

If you are a shareholder of Avon, if you have information or would like
to learn more about our investigation, or if you wish to discuss these
matters or have any questions concerning this announcement or your
rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Louis
